Vnvnsxzovr:Mem- IN 'eases FOR serssoas.

The Schedule referred 'to` in these Letters Patent land making part of the 'saine To all vwhom tt may concern Be it known that I, DAVID BvL-PAGE, oft the Atown of Henry, in the county of Marshall, in the `State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Article and Figure-2 is `a longitudinal sectional riewoi' the Figure' 3. isthe spring.

The nature of lmy invention consists in havhig a imetal case, A, whichmay be of tin', brass, silver, or

' any,r other suitable material,so formed that one end is closed and the other. end open, being nearly dat on one side, (the back,) to Vwhich the piu B is attached,

convexon the othersid'e,(thc` fron,) and tapering Y gradually to the closedend;

` Y A rim of the same-lnetinr substance as the` case is bent and shaped, asluany ordinary riln without wire, around the top or open end, while' thefronteside at' the salneend ismade Haring, that the scissors may' be more easily introduced, and lalso to give strengthl and durability. Y

Irrthe open endl is a-spriug, so shaped that it adjusts itself to any sizeof scissors that may be'put in the ease, being verypliable in its nature, reaching half-wayor more down the case, and coming in contact'with the front inside at F, which, when the seissors are inserted, recedes from the point VF by elon-v 'gating itself down the case.

Onone side is a pin, B, to attach it tothe, clothing of the person using;y Y

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe more fully its construction. y t

I construct it'byeutting from a sheet of the desired metal ofthe required thickness, which isabout that Y of common tin, a piece of such fonm that,'whenit has thatmay beinserted.

been bent around the desired pattern, the two edges comet'ogether'. They are then soldered, as is also the lower end forming the case A or, instead of making the case of sheet metal, and Vsoldering.; it together, it can be cast in proper molds from any fusible'an'd snitable metal.A t

I then insert the spring C in the open end, and solder it at the point E.

-Thc spring C. is made of spring-steel or brass, of proper thickness and size, suitable and bent or shaped in such a ,manner that, when placed in the case A and 1 properly soldered, it will press stifiiy from side to side,

first touching the front side of the case about one and one-half inch from the top, and the back side one inch further down, thus securely holdingvanything The pin Bis then soldered on longitudinally where the two edges come together, completing the article.

'lrhe pin-B is'made from a single. piece of springwire, of right'length vand size, one end being pointed sharp, the other end bent up and forming a hook or catch. lhe gire is then' bent in the center, once around a round 4piece of iron, and the two ends brought together in such a manner` that the pointed end can be pressed down and,madefast'v by the vhook on the oppositja! end.- Therebject of bending the wire in the manner described is to give it snicient spring to keep itffrom eomingunfastened when in use; This pi so .made is then soldered 'onto the case A, with the sharp end and hook toward the closed end of' the case.
